Americans and Online Poker?

Question

It’s a sad day today.
I am playing online poker as normal but there are no Americans to be seen. What is detail of the new law that’s been passed banning Americans from using overseas Internet sites? It really sucks. We miss you guys. Land of the Free??? Not any more.

There has to be away around this BS.

Its a new law passed by congress that prevents US Banks and Credit Card firms making peoples by US clients to overseas online gaming companies

.

Ive just been on the game site i use (a uk site) ,and theres plenty of americans on it ,they dont know what im talking about when i asked them your question.

Answer 2

I've done a full article reviewing the details of the so-called "Internet Gambling Ban". The page includes a link to all sites allowing American players.

There IS no ban! The Act Bush signed changes nothing. DON'T PANIC!!

Answer 3

Basically the site you are playing on has banned US players because of this legislation. Since the law doesn't make playing illegal some sites still allow US players. If you want to play against Americans you can find a number of sites on this list http://www.ultimatepokerbankroll.com/article.php/internet-gambling-ban-poker-sites-status still allowing Americans, or the statement of your network as to why they banned Americans.
